HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1892-10-07, Page 5=6° •71••• OcTOBEBTl,7 1892 THE HURON EXPOSITOR would go to-liorrow if they ,were only abbe." Such ia brief were the causal that left to the ruin of go many turners in South bite neat as told MO by Mr. McConnell End stibstantiated by numbers of others whom 1 1 beve vieited. I found that the majotity a the colonists came from the districts 4ur- totalling the town of Aberdeen, representa- tives being found from the counties of Eil-- itionti,-McPherson, Faulk, Spink, Marshall, Dayt ete. It seemed hard to believe that these people had experienced all they told me, but I found them to be apparently ttp- tight, intelligent men, who were gbod farmers- and well knew what they were telk- iefeabout. One family, formerly of Ridge - :owe, Ontario,had been ten years in Dakota,. send had lost all they had, and they had taken e good outfit with them. Two fam- iliee of Americans who had been in Dakota eleven years told me that they had leftthe State of Illinois, where they had fine fairing, to try their fortune in Dakota. They took cattle, horses and implements with them, and after eleven years of toifound them- selves beggared. As year eucceecled near and crop siter crop failed, they were fokced to mortgage their homes for money to „buy food for their children and seed for the next year 'Presently it became impossible th get advances on land, and then t e stockand t; effects had to go, money being orroweil on ohattel mortgage, with interest at 3' per cent. per month, or 36 per cent. per annum. It was impoesible to escape • they could not starve. The usurers had them by the throat, and I was assured that it was no uncommon thing for a man to borrovi $10 for bread, giving his note for $15' due in 30 days, with 3 per cent. per monthafter due. Wherever I went the etory was the seine— no water, no crops, and the tender mercies of the usurer. Petitions were sent to siCon- grass from farmers in Southern Dakota and Nehreska. They all spoke highly of the soil, but said it did not matter how geod it was if there was no rain. With maoy of them water had been scarce even for house use and they had to draw it in barrels for dee. The hot winds were described as nothing fearful. They would sweep across the treeless plains as if straight from the furnace mouth, parching and withering every blade of green, and often compelling the settlers themselves to seek shelter in the cellars. Cyclopes and blizzards were of fre- quent occurrence, and hail storms ehared with the hot winds the duty of destroying the crops. To an easterner, and one who had just come through the fertile fields of our own Northwest, these stories werb sim- ply astounding, and I went from house to house honing to find some improveinent. Bat, if •anything, they only became worse. The colony includes Canadians, Yatkees, Germans, English and Swedes, and all epee. I inquired how it was that the state of affeirs was not more generally known, and was told that in consequence of the vast SUMS of capital sunk in South Dakota the most strenuotio efforts were made to conceal the truth, and any man who attempted to assiat the people to get away was reviled and traduced by the merchants and money- lenders. Several of the colonists who had , been in Nebraska declared things were little better there for farmere, and that htioclreds of them were abandoning their farms, Fuel. was another drawback. No wood could be got, so, while money lasted, the kettlers burned coal, costing $9 and $10 a ton, and when they became too poor for that they used dried manure, which they enphonious- ly term " oxaline," exactly the same fnel used by the coolies of India. SOW THEY ARE CONTENTEth The only bright side to the whoa situa- tion is the present, peace and contentment of th,ese poor people. They all declared theme selves delighted with the new country, veld aro in high hope of retrieving lost years. The. majority of them have a few good Nettie and implements, purohased with the money tent to them by the Canada Set- , tiers' Cpmpany, thus being enabled to start afreehe Every one 1 spoke to esid they had many friends in Dakota who were anxious to come out, and were hanging on in hopes of being anle to; ply their debts and get away with geent force, but all the men about the sepilrateei eihisitted, the only sufferer being Mr. ValtiOtiitieMeso, the engineer, 'tending beside the eitglite, a piece of iron struck him on ihe facie feeinw the eye and made a nasty cut Pi --ie-ttlr, n Itielit Moore, of Fullerton, was taktug 'eitti the surplus honey from his beed the ntini evening, and while using a sheep eitieitigdinife to pry out the comb, thmknifit Altiped in some manner and gave hini a *ablegash across the front arm.
